Well, it's take a few weeks getting all the bits and bobs to complete my mobile radio setup.  This involves (for the present) one radio, Radioddity DB20-G, cup holder mount, four antennas, one mag mount, an NMO mount (permanently installed on one vehicle), a AC to DC power pack and an old unused Max Expedition Fat Boy pack.

My primary vehicle is a Toyota Tacoma.  So, the NMO mount is permanently installed on the rear of the truck.  The other two vehicles '82 Jeep CJ and '78 Ford LTD II Sports Touring Edition will use the mag mount as will the "base station".  Four antennas because I couldn't find a satisfactory way to carry one, so those live in each vehicle and my den.  Although I likely will install some sort of permanent antenna at the house.  

With this setup I can simple grab the bag and have everything I need to be up and transmitting in just a couple of minutes.

I'm in the programming phase with the radio.  Currently using factory software.  Frankly the programming is a heck of a lot simpler than what I used to do with process control equipment, just repetitious as all get out.  But, I have tested tested all of the installations and my SWR ranges from 1.01 to 1.03.
